tooth development

What are Common Developmental Anomalies?

Several developmental anomalies can occur during tooth development, including:
- Amelogenesis Imperfecta: A genetic condition affecting enamel formation, leading to abnormal enamel structure.
- Dentinogenesis Imperfecta: A genetic disorder affecting dentin formation, resulting in discolored and weak teeth.
- Hypodontia: The congenital absence of one or more teeth.
- Hyperdontia: The presence of extra teeth beyond the normal number.
These conditions can result from genetic mutations, environmental factors, or disruptions in the signaling pathways involved in tooth development.
